Internet advertising mogul Gurbaksh “G” Chahal’s girlfriend claimed Chahal held his hands over her mouth and nose while telling her he was going to kill her, a police officer told a San Francisco courtroom Monday.

The testimony came during a preliminary hearing Monday for Chahal, who is free on $1 million bail and faces 47 counts of domestic violence-related charges as a result of the alleged late night Aug. 5 attack, which police say was captured by Chahal’s home security video system. He has pleaded not guilty.

“She stated she was unable to breathe. She stated that he said, ‘I’m going to kill you’ four times,” said San Francisco Police Officer Anh Nguyen, who took a statement from the woman. “She stated she was in fear for her life.”

Chahal, who appeared in court with a phalanx of representatives, had allegedly hit and kicked his girlfriend in the head, body and legs after learning that she had taken a trip to Las Vegas with another man, according to prosecutors.

Defense attorneys for Chahal, a phenomenally successful serial entrepreneur who is founder and current CEO of the rising ad tech company RadiumOne, were fighting Monday in the same court to keep a security video that allegedly documents the attack from being shown.

Monday’s proceeding came as San Francisco-based RadiumOne is reportedly preparing for an initial public stock offering in order to expand overseas, with revenue headed for more than $100 million this year, according to Bloomberg, which cited unnamed sources. Also Monday, RadiumOne said it had hired industry veteran Anna Baird to be CFO.
